Power, Presence and Space
Author: Henry AlberyPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000168808
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Patterns of ritual power, presence, and space are fundamentally connected to, and mirror, the societal and political power structures in which they are enacted. This book explores these connections in South Asia from the early Common Era until the present day. The essays in the volume examine a wide range of themes, including a genealogy of ideas concerning Vedic rituals in European thought; Buddhist donative rituals of Gandhara and Andhra Pradesh in the early Common Era; land endowments, festivals, and temple establishments in medieval Tamil Nadu and Karnataka; Mughal court rituals of the Mughal Empire; and contemporary ritual complexes on the Nilgiri Plateau. This volume argues for the need to redress a historical neglect in identifying and theorising ritual and religion in material contexts within archaeology. Further, it challenges existing theoretical and methodological forms of documentation to propose new ways of understanding rituals in history. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian history, religion, archaeology, and historical geography.

Working with Street Children
Author: UnescoPublisher: UNESCO
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Governments have traditionally left the plight of street children and working children, who by some counts number over 100 million, to individuals and nongovernmental organizations, including many religious organizations. As a result, there are a multitude of small, uncoordinated, but highly effective projects throughout the world concentrated in urban areas. The 18 case studies presented illustrate the work carried out by these organizations and demonstrate how rehabilitation can be conducted working with and for children. Part 1, "Reinsertion through Education," looks at seven projects characterized by efforts to ensure the reinsertion of street and working children into their families or mainframe society through education. The four projects in part 2 rely on work rather than education in their efforts. Part 3 describes three projects that concentrate on improving the situation of children by teaching them to use the street environment and by capitalizing on their experiences and practical intelligence. Part 4 concentrates on the administration of projects for street children. The case studies are presented without commentary to form a collection of results and ideas to stimulate imagination and interest, particularly among those responsible for government policies. Valid solutions will come only from strong governmental commitment. (SLD)

Reviving Don BoscoÕs Oratory. Salesian Youth Ministry, Leadership and Innovative Project Management
Author: Michal Vojt‡_Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 9657690382
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
The book starts with the development of Salesian youth ministry in the post-Vatican II period. The change from a faithful and repetitive education towards a critical and future-centered approach brought multiple risks. Focusing on organizational aspects, we analyze the underlying theories and their anthropological paradigms, especially Management by Objectives. Then we turn back to the original and permanent criterion for any renewal - the experience of Don Bosco in the Valdocco Oratory. His leadership and management qualities, recent leadership concepts, solid bases of the Salesian Youth Ministry and creative experiments are sewn creatively together in an innovative proposal: 1. Creation of an integral anthropological framework; 2. Development of a set of virtues-qualities at the level of action mentality, shared leadership and operative management; 3. Proposal of a transformational project cycle that merges planning, community building and discernment.
Petals and Pebbles
Author: Elias DiasPublisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781494283117
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
'Petals and Pebbles' uses facts and stories to talk about situations people face every day. The Author, Elias Dias, uses his pastoral experience and his counselling skills to offer advice to the average reader looking for guideposts in life. The friendly style of the book, together with the glossary and the references, makes it a book that can be read in the comfort of one's home, or for more serious study, or perhaps while commuting to work. The short chapters and the subtitles offer even the casual reader the possibility of browsing or reading just the chapters or sections that need to be read. The book should prove to be an invaluable resource to teachers, preachers, lawyers, social workers, leaders and managers. The book has received warm praise from a lay pastor in Australia, a teacher in Canada, a youth worker in South Africa and a pastor in the Philippines. Many of their comments seem to suggest that the book would appear to talk to them, very much the way that Pope Francis speaks to his audiences across the world.
